There's room for improvement but I'm not savvy at photo editing.

Davidson is OK

 

[TypeRDC5]

Eurosport filling in the safety car period by talking about GT academy!

Forza buy the rights to rename the first chicane and invest in plenty of advertisement on the race and Gran Turismo has already been mentioned more than Forza, someone at Sony will be laughing.

 

[Davidies]

Ferrari...

Causing HUGE crashes since 2011...

 

[Mac K]

Davidson is OK

And the driver of that Ferrari?

I have no idea what position anyone is in any more, I've lost all live timing. Don't even know who is leading.

 

[Scalage]

And the driver of that Ferrari?

He was already walking away a few minutes after the crash

I did screenshoot the car upside down, but my finger was trigger happy

Didn't Toyota take the lead just before the 2nd Toyota crashed?

 

[hornet_burnout]

He was hidding his face on the side of the track immediatelly after...

 

[DVNTST8]

And the driver of that Ferrari?

He was out sitting on the side of the road after the crash. Got himself out of the car. Some of that time sitting with his head in his hands.

 

[C-ZETA]

Romain Dumas should be made into a 'reaction to' video meme.

Anyone?

Agree

Yeah #1 Audi retook the lead in the pits tho after the safety car had come out.

 

[RACECAR]

And the driver of that Ferrari?

He was pretty much seen walking around on Tv so I don't think he was the main concern.

 

[monoha]

Didn't Toyota take the lead just before the 2nd Toyota crashed?

True, but they both pitted during the safetycar and audi #1 was faster

 

[Tired Tyres]

Race Control estimates 30 minutes to repair the barrier.

I think I would too just after ive seen a LMP crash into me and then fly upside down at 180MPH in front of my windscreen.

(I still think the Ferrari driver was at fault, however.)

What?! THat's BS! Are drivers allowed to overtake in any way when the safety car is out? Bah, this is making me mad!

 

[Bram Turismo]

no it doesn't


This flag should normally be shown to a car about to be lapped and, when shown, the driver concerned must allow the following car to pass at the earliest opportunity.

thats what it says in the rule book.

So you're driving a Ferrari on the Mulsanne straight and see the blue flags being waved at you. You are aware of the speed difference between a GT car and an LMP car. You suspect an LMP being behind you since the blue flags are being waved at you, but instead you choose to ignore your mirrors because you suspect the driver behind you probably isn't racing for position anyway. Oh wait.

And it's not like the Mulsanne corner is a place where many overtakes happen, right? Oh wait.

Thanks but got it back now. How did the Audi get back in the lead? During the pit stop?

 

[CarBastard]

I like memebase's meme generator best.

They are if they have a faster pit stop...
